Latin Via Proverbs 116

I hope these notes will help you tackle this group of proverbs in Latin Via Proverbs. This group includes more proverbs with second conjugation verbs.

Please note: to read the proverbs in Latin, you need to acquire a copy of the book from lulu.com! What I am providing here in the blog are notes to help people who are making their way through the book either in a Latin class or on their own. You can find more help at the LatinViaProverbs.com wiki website.

1515. One person's testimony is of no account. (This is a Latin legal saying, the idea being that without corroborating testimony, one person's testimony is not valid. Compare this similar saying, testis unus, testis nullus, "one witness, no witness.")

ABOUT THIS BLOG

The LatinLOLCats you see here use vocabulary that is limited to the high-frequency Latin vocabulary list provided by Christopher Francese and the Dickinson College Commentaries: specifically, the 1000-word Latin Core Vocabulary List. I've decided that I won't be doing any more Latin books, however, and instead I've shifted my attention over to some English language projects - but I'll be including the Latin LOLCats over there, with English translations and notes also. You can find the newest Latin LOLCats over at the Proverb Laboratory blog. (You will find some Shakespearean LOLCats there also.)
